Oops!... I Did It Again

Tomb craft in Hanoi, Vietnam.

It's a very bad idea to become spokeswomen of such business.

Funny Vietnam Menu

I do know Vietnam has very exotic food before I came here and I don't fancy those.

So there's nothing like those food in this post.

But they sure have some funny menu.


Pigeon? Chicken?

Kinda confusing when I wanna order...


I thought tortoise is 乌龟?

Maybe is just typo.

Either way I do not eat 乌龟 or 甲鱼.


Bombed rice.

I wonder... Don't they have copy and paste function?

Fried Rice with Chicken and Fish has been translated to Bombed Rice with Chicken and Fish.


Money wrapped.

I know their money face value is very small... but la... wrapped with money wor...


Hmm...

Isn't eating cock testicle is kind of extreme... ...ly not enough?

Wonder how many cock they need to prepare such a dish.


Hmm...again...

I have a Muslim colleague.

He was hesitating whether he should order the BBQ Beef or not.


What I had ordered.

So I picked the Bombed Rice with Chicken and Fish along with two other colleagues.

The first bite of the food was weird as the food had a funny taste, but once you get used to it, it was consumable.

Yet I still wonder my taste bud got problem or not, when I was the only one finished the dish while the other two barely finished half of it...

The Another Vietnam Hotel

Due to some unhappy incident, my hotel isn't exactly what I've mentioned in the previous post.


Could be good, if wasn't the service sucked big hell.

After a 3 hour flight on Sunday morning, we were expecting a nice room to rest before we started to work the next day.

It was early when we reached the hotel, before 12pm. All of the rooms were occupied, and since people usually check out after 12pm, we had to wait at the lobby.

We booked 8 rooms and only 4 rooms were available at 12pm. My project manager started to get frustrated and that's when we started our hotel hunt.

And since I am lazy to describe what we had went through for the hotel, I just fast forward to the hotel we eventually ended up.


End up at Morning Star.

So this is the hotel I am staying.

It is 5usd more expensive than the previous hotel. So does it worth it?

Let's check out its facilities.


Their facilities.

Well, it looks OK from the pictures.

Where is it located?


Map by Wikipedia

Also nearby the lake, on Hang Hahn street. Look for yourself in the map.

So how does it look like it reality?

Refer to the pictures I've took.


The beds.

Very comfortable beds.


The bathroom.

The bathroom has everything needed, heater, hair dryer, even a slide door to cover the splashes of the water.


The all-the-thing a room should have.

A TV with more than 20 channels available, it is even the same model with the one I have in KL.

It is pretty decent. Nothing much to complain about.





Erm? Am I sharing room with other people?

No... I sleep on bed A every Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Bed B on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. In the middle of the beds on Sunday.

p/s: No more wife free... have to use wired one. And happy birthday to my little brother's 18th birthday.

The Vietnam Hotel

The hotel I gonna stay, Royal 1 Hotel, I think.

I will be leaving to Vietnam in a few days time. This will be a very long trip, a one-month trip to Vietnam.

For work.

But it doesn't mean I'm not excited. My project manager has booked the rooms in Vietnam and I am eager to find out what kind of room I will be staying.

By the way, the first picture is the website of the hotel, the right hand side, Royal 1 Hotel, I think.


I think the facilities are good enough, for a one-month stay.

Honestly, I think the room isn't too shabby.

Well, for me, as long as the room has nice bed and is air-conditioned, it would be OK.

From the picture, it does look great.

And hopefully it does in the reality.


Map by Wikipedia

The hotel is very close to a lake, which I think would be a very nice place for photos.

The hotel is on the Cau Go Road, I leave it to you to locate it on the map above.


See what's the problem?

And the best part is...





...every room will be supplied with a wife, for free!

Don't believe me? Check out the picture above.

Did you find it? No wonder a lot of people like to get a wife from Vietnam.

Some Photos From NVP

Really took a very long time to update my blog. It has been busy since I joined the new company.

But I didn't forget about the old company. Here goes the very last few photos I took before I left NVP.

Took some photos of the seats of the persons I had been working with. Thank you for all memories we had!

In case you are wondering what am I posing, it's called The Karen Cheng Pose, check out Karen Cheng's blog and her Facebook Group, "Doing The Karen Cheng" to find out more.

It's been 3 weeks since I left NVP, the very much missed thing in the company would be...





...the door.
